No one will acknowledge either nepotism or casting couch. They will all pretend together they are here because of their talent.

Ok, like almost everyone of this new generation are here due to nepotism but they aren't going to say anything about it

The other few who aren't also are not going to say much about it because they need the movies (since they have no "mentors"/"family" to make films for them otherwise)

No one but Kangana and Rajkumar acknowledged it. Sonam and Varun used the same talking point that all the star kids before them have. It's true nepotism exists and Rajkumar hit the nail on its head--it's unfair for someone to get 20 some films even though they're so bad. I wish it more like HW where children on even Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep have to go on auditions, lobby for roles, and struggle for their 1st break...just having the surname doesn't guarantee anything.

Sonam Kapoor is so freaking stupid... it's like I lose IQ points just listening to her. Also, I love how Rajkummar Rao said all that in front of Sonam 😆... especially because Sonam is a PERFECT example of what he's talking about!

Nepotism exist. Everything is about film families their kins. an average actor with film family connection will get many films to prove. Arjun Kapoor and Tushar kapoor not more talented than Rajkumar but they have families making film for them and big producers giving them many chances. atleast its not as bad as before a lot of star kids are doing good work proving their stay but nepotism still exist.

If anybody wants to see the full interview with Rajkummar and Sonam:

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPE6BpX8RlI[/YOUTUBE]

Particularly worth watching @ 10.23 min when Sonam tells Rajkummar it took her 5 years to get her first film and that her dad didn't help her meet SLB.
